Definitely carve!!! I made a guitar cake for a hannah montana-themed party . I drew the shape myself, placed on top of 11x15 sheet cake & carved! But, i also used a smaller rectangular-shaped cake??(forgot what size) to carve a small piece of the guitar 'arm' that was left off....i attached that with icing.
Carve it! The shape of a Guitar Hero guitar is totally different from a normal acoustic guitar (the only type of guitar pan I've ever seen), so even if you use the pan you'll still end up carving a bunch, and I find that it's much easier to carve a cake from scratch than to try and alter a shaped cake (carving and adding extra pieces).

That's true. Personally, i think the cake pan makes an ugly guitar...and it's kind of outdated.
I prefer carving whatever the end item is to be - otherwise I'd be up to my eyebrows in "unitasker" pans. I have my rounds (a few diff diams), my squares (diff dims) and knives - oh, and a very small kitchen!
Good luck, can't wait to see the end result!!!

Carve it! I made one last year for my future stepson's birthday, and he loved it. It was the first cake I had ever carved...which surprised everyone because my family knows I can't even draw a stick figure...lol.
